Year in Title not Updating After Release Date was Accepted

Hello, everyone! The year in the title of my short film, STORAGE, is not updating, even though the release date appears to have been approved. This is making it impossible to find my film (which has a common/popular title) when trying to add awards and nominations; it is not registering among the options and my submission is being rejected consequently. Here is the IMDb page for my short: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21927574 Any help on how to resolve this ASAP would be greatly appreciated - thank you in advance!

Kelly: There isn't any Release Date listed for this film at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21927574/releaseinfo/ . Thus, I am not sure that the release date has been fully approved. (There is a "released" indication in the production details on IMDbPro, but that's not the same thing.) Have you submitted a Release Date to appear at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21927574/releaseinfo/ ? If a Release Date were accepted there, the film would usually have a year entered after the title -- not immediately, but within a couple of days at most.

Thank you so much, gromit82! You were absolutely right - I must have made some sort of error or been mistaken when I initially set out to submit the release date. It appears to have been resolved, so I appreciate your insight... Thanks again!

@KellyKrause please follow the advice from @gromit82 above (thanks) In the meantime, to add any awards for your title, instead of entering "Storage" into the contribution form, please enter its IMDb ID which is: tt21927574 -- this is explained in section A, step #9 in https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/other-submission-guides/awards/G5KGRJURZFQGHJQH Hope this helps.
